Chapter 3: Prosperity (I)

"Shaojun, why is this?"

Han Dang was stunned, and hurriedly released the reins to stop his lord, but after all, because of the growing power of the other party, he didn't dare to really pull it, so he had to reflexively reprimand the pavilion chief on the ground. "My young gentleman has just been released from the Qianshi County Order, this trip is to go to the post, I heard that Dian Wei's brave name came to visit, maybe there is a meaning of conquest, where is to catch him? You're ridiculous! ”

The middle-aged pavilion chief was stunned when he heard this, but immediately bowed his head and remained silent.

Han Dang was also speechless when he saw this, and his own lord was still silent, so he turned over and walked away, so he had to turn around and chase after him with a few attendants.

However, Lou Gui suddenly realized for a while, and then couldn't help but sigh faintly, and then led the horse to turn around: "In this case, the pavilion chief must remember the kindness of my young gentleman!" ”

"Dare to ask your lord's name?" The pavilion chief became more and more ashamed when he heard this.

"Gongsun Xun of Liaoxi!" Lou Gui said as he turned over and chased after him.

For a while, only the pavilion chief was left kneeling alone in front of Dian Wei's house.

"Why should Shaojun be angry with this kind of person?" Han Dang's equestrian skills are amazing, and he immediately asked after catching up.

"Where am I angry?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, but he slowed down. "As you say, why should I be angry with this man?"

Han Dang was speechless for a moment.

"The reason why I am a little depressed is that I feel that I have been dizzy by the sun, and I have done this senseless act." Gongsun Xun sighed seriously when he said this. "I, a native of western Liaoning, who is about to go to Liaodong, vainly try to recruit a Central Plains warrior who has a family and a family, and even has the support of the township, isn't it in vain?"

After all, Han Dang was just a martial artist, and he didn't know how to persuade him for a while.

"Shaojun is self-aware and benevolent!" At this moment, Lou Gui arrived from behind. "So why sigh?"

At this moment, it was Gongsun Xun's turn to be speechless for a while, and his benevolence was fine...... But how did you become an elder again?

"Uncle Zi, that's what you say?" Han Dang was also confused.

"Look, Yigong," Lou Gui immediately laughed on his horse. "This Central Plains is the land of four wars, once the chaos starts, it will inevitably be connected by war and disaster, and Dian Wei, this person, brave and outstanding, he is here for a day, but he can always keep a township safe......"

"That's true." Han Dang couldn't help but nod with emotion. "It's just that the bandits are connected, and this pavilion chief is worried, and he is unwilling to let Dian Wei leave, let alone the war? If there is really a war, I am afraid that this Dian Wei will be elected as a military leader and continue to maintain the township. ”

"That's exactly what happened." Lou Gui couldn't help but say solemnly. "The pavilion chief is worried that Shaojun will lose his protection after arresting Dian Wei, but our Shaojun understands that not to mention arresting Dian Wei is to conquer Dian Wei, isn't it the same thing? It's just to make the villagers lose their dependence! That's why we Shaojun turned around and left...... Not only did he retreat in the face of difficulties, but he was also benevolent, and he didn't want the local area to be poisoned by soldiers and bandits after losing Dian Wei. ”

Han Dang and the attendants suddenly realized, and then looked at their own lord's eyes with a little more respect.

Gongsun Xun naturally didn't bother to explain...... In fact, the benevolence that Lou Gui said, that is, the heart of compassion, is really moved, but it is only a few points, but it cannot be said to be the main reason, the real main reason is actually the word 'powerless'.

To put it bluntly, the sense of regional identity is too high these days, even if you have a background and fame, it can only attract some scholars who have the right to choose, and you may not be able to move these big and small people who have taken root in the place...... In other words, after hundreds of years of differentiation and tempering, what is Haoqiang in Dahan now? It is the local forces that cannot obtain a serious career, and most of their interests come from the local countryside, and these people do not have the courage and strength to leave the local area.

Of course, you can't say that Dian Wei is qualified to be called Haoqiang, after all, his background is too different from Haoqiang.

But obviously, seeing that the world is gradually becoming unstable, he, a ranger with outstanding strength, has passively been supported and united by the villagers, the big family next door sent him money, asked him to take revenge, the local officials covered him, and the villagers regarded his family as a place that could really solve the problem......

Under such circumstances, even if Dian Wei himself is still a local ranger with a pure personality and outstanding martial arts, he is also tainted with some heroic characteristics!

In a word, the villagers will not let Dian Wei go, and Dian Wei will not abandon his hometown because of his own solicitation by a Liaodong county order, even if Gongsun Xun promised to take the other party's parents away to take care of him!

As Lou Gui said, people like Dian Wei should stay here to keep the party safe, and when the chaos starts, the villagers will organize an armed force for him to lead...... If the bandits attacked, he would meet them, and if the people from the court came, he would lead the army to join the army...... Until there is a person who sees the hero and introduces him as a confidant, and then turns to the Quartet and goes down in history!

Of course, this person has to be the ruler of Chenliu County, or a villager from the left, or a villager from the left and the ruler of Chenliu!

Otherwise, Dian Wei would not have been able to be under his command at all!

So, does Cao Mengde really still have a destiny?! And when it comes to Haoqiang who has the courage to break away from his homeland, is Sun Wentai really a first-class hero? That Yuan Benchu left his hometown to go to Hebei to establish a foundation, but in the end he fell into the dilemma of infighting in Hebei and Nanyang, is there really a deep reason? But why was Guangwu able to mediate the contradictions between his subordinates in Hebei and Nanyang, and then build Shenzhou?

Born in the world, is it really luck and destiny?

Gongsun Xun traveled all the way, and he was cranky all the way, but he couldn't figure it out for two consecutive days...... And in a trance, he had already come to the outskirts of Qiaoxian County at the junction of Peiguo and Liangguo in the scorching summer heat!

Cao Mengde, who was studying hard at home, was overjoyed when he heard this, and then went out with a broom to greet him.

Gongsun Xun got off the horse, regardless of the sweat, snatched the broom from the other party's hand and threw it aside, and then laughed with the other party.

"Before Luo Zhong said goodbye, I thought that the next time we met, we would have to wait until our temples were like frost, but I didn't expect to be able to meet Wen Qi again so soon." After a few months, Cao Mengde's stature has not grown taller, but he seems more relaxed and comfortable when he speaks, and this relaxation is from the inside out, and he is much more open-minded than he pretended to be in Luozhong before, and he doesn't know how comfortable he is.

"Someone said goodbye without saying goodbye and became a gentleman on the beam, as a famous Confucian disciple, how could I not follow the example of the sages and teach the thieves?" Gongsun Xun was also smiling, but he left everything he had thought before behind for the time being.

"Did you come after me to persuade me to be kind?" Cao Mengde couldn't help laughing, his eyes narrowed into a slit.

Then, he hurriedly stepped forward to meet Lou Gui, that is, Han Dang and several attendants from Yanmen, who also held hands to meet each other.

He is open-minded and funny, and he doesn't put on a show of anyone, but he quickly makes the guests feel 'at home'.

But to be honest, it may be that I have been thinking about a lot of things recently, and when Gongsun Xun saw such a situation, he actually remembered that Liu Bei, who could talk to anyone...... I don't know what the latter is doing now?

"Wen Qi." After some noise, Cao Cao took the other party's hand and entered the courtyard where he lived. "It's so hot, and you're still visiting me, are you really looking for me to drink, or is there something serious?"

"But there are three important things." Gongsun Xun held the other party's arm, and said with a straight face.

"Three?" Cao Mengde was open-minded, and he couldn't help but be surprised, so he immediately stopped in the courtyard.

"Yes, yes." Gongsun Xun also replied seriously. "First, when I left Luoyang, I remembered Brother Mengde's unfinished business, so I specially asked He Guiren's brother He Jin He Suigao to help, this person had a very good relationship with me, so he promised me that I must let Queen Song and the Song family be buried...... Brother Meng De might as well send someone to inquire about one or two, 'I'm afraid there will be good news in the next day.' ”

Cao Cao didn't say anything when he heard this, but he couldn't help shaking the other party's hands again and again to show his heart.

"Second," Gongsun Xunfu said again. "When I came, the situation in Luozhong changed greatly, and Brother Mengde's family was demoted, and I wanted to know more clearly about this matter, but no one was watching from Luozhong...... It's a long story, so let's take it slow in the evening. ”

Cao Cao is naturally indispensable.

"Third," Gongsun Xun's face suddenly changed. "Brother Mengde, don't think I'm joking...... Please give me back that fat cat! ”

Cao Cao was dumbfounded: "Are you really here to investigate this matter?" ”

"Mengde doesn't know." Lou Gui reluctantly stepped forward to explain. "That raccoon cat is extraordinary, it is a gift from my young lady and the young lady when they first met, and later my young lady met Xianbei in Liucheng, Liaoxi, and the old acquaintances around him were slaughtered, only this one cat ......"

"I know about this," Cao Mengde quickly interrupted the other party's words as if his head was as big as a fight. "I also know what you mean...... Could it be that Wenqi's family is still quite discordant because of this incident? ”

Lou Gui naturally kept his mouth shut, but Gongsun Xun couldn't help sighing: "That's good, Brother Meng De will return the tanuki to me, and I will send someone to send you a similar one in a few days!" ”

"This ......," Cao Cao said awkwardly. Wen Qi came from afar, and it was the middle of summer, why don't you bathe and change your clothes first, and then go to visit my family, and then make an explanation when you set up a banquet in the evening? ”

Gongsun Xun was vigilant in his heart, but after all, he was covered in stinky sweat and sticky...... Moreover, anyway, everyone has arrived, and he really doesn't believe that the other party can rely on it, so he immediately nodded and promised.

And then, needless to say, Gongsun Xun and the others immediately went to meet Cao Song, who 'likes fat girls', after bathing and changing clothes...... Cao Song was actually not interested in collecting the corpse or anything, but he was particularly concerned about the situation in Luozhong, not only did he have a lot of problems, but he also signaled Gongsun Xun to tell his son in detail at night, and then let his son report again.

To be honest, Gongsun Xun was actually quite unimpressed with the other party's eagerness...... Because Cao's current situation seems to have fallen into a trough, but it has reached the bottom. Moreover, Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng was really a great person, and there were countless important ministers in the court who were favored by him, and there was no shortage of people around the Son of Heaven who kept saying good things for the Cao family.

Not to mention the palace, just take the Gong clan as an example, the famous family of Luozhong, the first famous minister of the family to ascend to the position of the third duke, did such a thing...... When he served as the assassin of Yizhou, there was a Shu County Taishou to bribe Cao Teng, and he was discovered by Chong Hui on the way, and this guy directly used this to impeach Cao Teng as soon as his brain was pumped. As expected, Emperor Huan was furious when he saw the song, not to mention that this was a unilateral act of the Taishou of Shu County, Cao Teng did not receive a bribe, but Cao Teng really accepted a bribe, and the grace of support was there, damn it, you are also seeded, right?

However, Chong Hui still survived, and had a prosperous official fortune all the way, not only served as the general of Duliao who was in charge of the military of northern Xinjiang, but also served as the position of the third duke, a real extremely human minister...... And the Luoyang clan has also flourished since then.

What's going on? It's very simple, when the Son of Heaven was furious that day and wanted to punish the crime, it was Cao Teng, who was impeached, who begged the Son of Heaven for mercy! And not just pleading, Cao Teng actually listed the merits and virtues of this person to Emperor Huan one by one, and then publicly praised this person as a capable official and recommended reuse...... Needless to say, what happened later naturally is that Chong Hui told people every day from now on, 'If it weren't for the benevolence and righteousness of Da Changqiu, where would there be a kind of Yan today'?

It is said that Cao Teng served the four emperors and participated in the auxiliary government for decades, similar to this unforgettable human affection all over Luozhong and beyond...... So, how could the Cao family collapse? After a few years, you will naturally recover again!

Of course, Gongsun Xun doesn't care what Cao Song thinks, and Cao Song may not care about his thoughts...... In fact, what Gongsun Xun really cares about is the next person he knows:

Mrs. Ding, who dares to 'Hufu', the Ding family is a big clan in Qian County, and has always been called the Xiahou family and the Cao family, and then the three clans have been married from generation to generation;

Cao Ang, who was still in infancy, was born by Cao Cao's little wife, Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu died soon after giving birth, so the child seemed to be raised by Mrs. Ding herself;

and Cao Cao's brother-in-law Xiahou Yuan, that's right, this talented brother just married Mrs. Ding's sister;

Then naturally Cao Ren, who is only ten years old, and Cao Chun, who is only eight years old, are indispensable, and their sisters are the sister-in-law of Queen Song...... So the two of them don't know if they have been instructed by their elders or have matured a lot after this great change, anyway, they are very respectful to Gongsun Xun;

And what's interesting is that Cao Cao actually has a younger brother Cao De, which is also strange...... Of course, if you think about it carefully, I'm afraid that this guy will be affected by his father in the future, so his reputation is not obvious!

"Why isn't Wen Qi seated yet?" Cao Cao flicked his sleeves and sat down cross-legged without any scruples. "Do you think I'm used to the simplicity of the food here or are you not used to this old-fashioned low futon? No way, my family has been spending a lot of money recently, and I can't afford the kind of high-leg furniture that is popular in Luozhong and Hebei. I heard that since your teacher Liu Gong took the lead in using that kind of furniture in Luozhong, the high-backed chairs are all called Taiwei chairs, and the price has skyrocketed......"

"No, no, no." Gongsun Xun also sat down casually, and then spoke. "I thought there were other people to sit in."

"Where is the others?" Cao Cao immediately laughed. "I'm just afraid that those elders will come over and make trouble, so they are all people of the same generation here, just feel free!"

"I mean......" Seeing that from Xiahou Yuan to Cao Chun, from Lou Gui to Han Dang, everyone was seated one after another, and Gongsun Xun finally asked directly. Why aren't Xiahou Yuanrang and Cao Zilian here? You said you wanted to be a friend with me and let me get to know them......"

Before the words fell, Cao Cao, who had always been open-minded, had a sudden change in his complexion, and he actually threw his face directly, and he didn't even squint his eyes!

And the rest of the people, except for Mrs. Ding, who came out to meet the guest, frowned slightly, but they all laughed.

Gongsun Xun was naturally puzzled.

"White Horse Zhonglang doesn't know," Xiahou Yuan smiled slightly. "My brother Xiahou Yuanrang has been a fugitive for half a year, and he often wanders around and makes friends with heroes...... In the past few days, he happened to go to Chen Guo to visit friends. ”

Gongsun Xun bowed slightly...... It can't be helped.

"As for the relationship between Brother Zilian and the eldest brother," Cao De next to him also explained helplessly. "The two have been falling out lately...... It really made Gongsun Lang Nakami smile! ”

"What are you laughing at?" Cao Cao couldn't hear this. "How can his Cao Zilian's family be poorer than mine? The county came to collect money, and my family has the most in the clan! How can my family have any money? I said that he secretly bribed the county officials, and he actually said that I had framed him...... What is there to frame for such an obvious thing? ”

It turned out that the Cao Cao clan was dismissed, and Pei Xiang at that time was none other than Wang Fu's nephew, that is, the indiscriminate killing Wang Ji, of course, this person wanted to make a gesture, so he asked Qian County to go to his house to collect the tax, that is, population tax and property tax...... Collect it, and after Cao Cao returned home and took care of the house himself, he learned that his family had the highest amount of money in the clan! And the richest family in the clan is obviously Cao Hong's family!

At this moment, Brother Meng De, who was in charge for the first time, was not happy...... Why? Then he couldn't help but take revenge for being rich once, and put on his face at his brother Cao Zilian...... said, did you Cao Zilian bribe the county officials?

And Cao Hong was furious when he heard this accusation, there is no evidence, why do you say that I bribed the county officials?

So, the two brothers actually quarreled about this kind of, which is also interesting.

"That's what it looks like." After Cao De's introduction, he couldn't help but become more and more embarrassed.

However, after listening to the introduction, Gongsun Xun actually didn't care about the customer's body system and Cao's face, and laughed on the spot, and tears of laughter came out.

"Wen Qi, why is this?" The people around him became more and more embarrassed, and even Cao Cao, who was puffing up, was speechless...... Feelings, our brothers have a quarrel, but are you laughing here?

"Brother Meng De really didn't miss the officials," Gongsun Xun stopped laughing and hurriedly said. "In my opinion, I'm afraid that this matter is really not Cao Zilian's doing...... It's the county magistrate who makes his own decisions! ”

Everyone at the banquet was at a loss.

"What does that mean?" Cao Cao asked.

"Is there anyone in Cao Zilian's family who is the minister?" Gongsun Xun asked with a smile.

"Not really."

"Two thousand stones?"

"Father Zilian, my deceased uncle was just a six-hundred-stone county monarch."

"That's right." Gongsun Xun put away his smile and said with a straight face. "Where is the reason why the family that ranks as a minister and is the descendant of the clan has less wealth than the rest of the clan? If that's the case, I'm afraid the Cao family will lose face in the county! In fact, the county officials are also hard...... How dare he make your family's money less than that of Cao Zilian's family? ”

Not to mention the others, Cao Cao was so smart that he understood it almost instantly, and then he couldn't help but turn blushing, so that he said to him left and right:

"Madam, what is the song and dance you said before?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Ding got up: "Wait a minute, I will go and invite you to sing and dance." ”
